CHARLESTON ITEMS.
A Good Year for Truck Farmers
of Courtenay for Governor.

A Good Year for Truck Farmers-Talk
of Courtenay for Governor.
CHARLESTON, July 9.-The truck farmers
of this vicinity have had at length u lucky
year. They have to take big odds. Their
produce has to be raised for the Northern
markets, and has to compete with Whining
ton, and Norfolk, and Florida, and so it has
to be planted early and the planter has TO
take the chances on the late spring frost. 1t
is somewhat remarkable that although
there were several very heavy frosts
this year, the Charleston truck farmer
has made money. In fact, he owes his sue
cess TO the frost, for it extended to Florida,
where the crops, being further advanced,
were more seriously damaged, and hence
the competition from Florida was not great.
1t is too early to give the figures, but it is
known that most of the farmers have had
successful season. The new bridge across
the Ashley has opened large territory, and
the area in berries and vegetables will be
largely increased next year.
A POLITICAL RIPPLE.
There was ripple in political circles
caused by the nomination by the Augusta
Chronicle of Capt. II. W. Wagener for
mayor of the city, but he promptly declined
and things have resumed their usual quiet.
Mayor Courtenay has positively declined a
third term, which he could very easily get,
for in spite OF McElrees onslaughts and in
spite of the fact that the Mayor is not very
popular with the machine" the people of
Charleston know good thing when they
get it., and would be glad to have his SER
vices for another term A city government
conducted strictly on business principles is
a luxury that taxpayers do not often enjoy
and that they cannot get too much of.
CoURTENAY FOR GOVERNOR.
There is some talk in the upper counties
of the State of making Mayor Courtenay
Governor--of course after the present in
cIunbent is out of the way-for nobody has
n hard word to say of Gov. John Peter
Richardson. don't know whether Mayor
Courtenay has thought of IL, but it is Ger
tain that hint from him that he would
serve would at once bring him a powerful
support even from the up-country, where,
strange to say, Charleston is not much con-
si1prpI
